October Break

We love going to Utah for October Break and this year we decided to go again. It worked out that it was BYU's Homecoming game during that first weekend so we were lucky to enjoy the festivities. The first thing was the Homecoming parade. It was absolutely freezing that morning especially for us since we live in Arizona and it was hot when we left there. But we still braved the weather to enjoy the parade. Michelle and Drew came down from South Jordan to join us and we had a great time watching with them.

Alexis loves the marching band and was so excited to see it up close.
She even got to pet a llama that was walking in the parade.
That night we went to the tailgate party and the kids had a great time walking around and doing some of the activities. Here they are on the back of a fire truck.
Alexis got her face painted with a cougar paw. We didn't actually go to the game but we watched it on the tv and enjoyed spending time with Andrew and Rachael.
Of course any trip to Utah would not be complete without going bowling at BYU.
We were lucky to get to spend some time with some of our friends in Utah. We got together and went to a fun bounce place with Stacey and Beth. This is the only picture I took because I was too busy talking and having fun.
We also met up with the triplets again and enjoyed playing at the park and going to Cameron's football practice.
We spent lots of time walking up to BYU's campus. We love being so close to campus that we can walk up there every day.
We even spent some time running around the outdoor track. The girls loved having races.
Peyton was nice enough to give Lexi a piggy back ride when she started getting tired.
After racing around the track the girls just had to get some Dairy Queen.
Another favorite of ours is the Earth Science Museum (or as we call it the Dinosaur museum). Andrew and his family joined us along with Rachael.
Here are the girls with their cousin Drew at the Cougar.
A fun pose with Aunt Rachael.
We also went to some Halloween Festival that was super fun. There were tons of witches all around and lots of people dressed up as witches.
We can't wait to go back and visit Utah again this summer.
